You know how teachers tell you the magic word is 'please'? That's not true. The magic word is 'puke'. It will get you out of class faster than anything else.
In "The Demigod Files" by Rick Riordan, the narrative highlights a humorous take on getting out of class. The author suggests that, contrary to what teachers often say about the importance of the word 'please', there is a more effective word: 'puke'. This playful remark indicates that students will find a way to escape their responsibilities, even if it means resorting to extreme measures.
By framing the idea of getting out of class in such a lighthearted manner, Riordan manages to capture the experience of youth in a relatable way. The exaggeration serves to entertain and resonate with readers, particularly students, who may fantasize about any means to avoid schoolwork.
